Three Sermons Defying the Nazis
By Blessed Clemens August Von Galen
Portrayed by Cal Beisang



In these sermons, Bishop von Galen takes on the Nazis, exposing their actions against innocent German citizens such as the Catholic orders, the mentally ill, the old and infirm. He criticizes the German government for attempting to usurp the role of parents in raising children.


There was swift retribution for these sermons. One of Hitler's aides, Reichsleiter Bormann, advised Adolf Hitler to take the Bishop into custody and hang him. But they feared that they'd have to deal with the remainder of the Catholic population in the diocese of Munster.


Instead, they attacked persons close to the Bishop. Twenty-four secular priests and 13 members of the regular clergy were deported into concentration camps. Ten lost their lives.


Even a so-called democracy can lose its way. Those in great positions of power should always be held accountable by their constituency through a stable system of checks and balances which are founded upon a constitution which upholds the Natural and Divine Laws.


A full biography of Bishop von Galen along with the complete manuscripts of these three sermons can be downloaded here: Blessed August Von Galen's Biography and Sermon Transcripts.

Catholic Digital Studio thanks them very, very much for this great opportunity.

In this world full of darkness, there is a Light, and it is Divine Love. The Light of the World, Jesus Christ, extends His open arms to all mankind.

Catholic Apologist, Mr. Vic Scaravilli, explains the basic foundation of Christian belief -- that God loves us. Everyone can become a member of God's family, and everyone can be happy in this life and in the one to come by sharing in the saving Grace of Jesus Christ.

It's a video about being saved (salvation) how to get it, how to accept it and how to keep it. We'll show you how to become clothed with the purifying garment of Christ.

This was a lecture given at the 2007 Marian Conference, St. Pius X Catholic Church, Diocese of Baker, Oregon, USA.

Colleen Quirk discusses apparitions of the Virgin Mary at Guadalupe, Lourdes, La Salette and Fatima and the implications for our times. Mary, the Mother of God and of the Church, calls her children to a lifestyle of penance, prayer and conversion, for the sake of bringing the world to Jesus Christ.

She describes the vision of Pope Leo XIII and the origin of the prayer to St. Michael the Archangel.

Freemasonry is an enemy of the Catholic Church. The negative effect of this organization is exposed and openly discussed.

St. Michael, the Archangel, defend us in battle. Be our defense against the wickedness and snares of the devil. May God rebuke him we humbly pray. And do thou, O Prince of the Heavenly Host, by the power of God, thrust into Hell Satan and the other evil spirits that prowl about the world seeking the ruin of souls. Amen.

God Bless!
